Clean lined, contemporary kitchen in stylish black and white by Sisällä Interior Design. Warmly minimal, deceptively simple. Plus it helps to have a butler’s pantry.

A traditional Victorian era terrace in South Yarra, Melbourne has been transformed with a masculine palette, refined finishes and a fresh, scandi feel while still retaining its period features. The best of old and new. With interiors by Fiona Lynch it’s no wonder I love it. Link here while it lasts.

The renovation of this small 2 storey single fronted townhouse by Doherty Design Studio has resulted in a sophisticated, minimalist design with an emphasis on the quality of finishes and the livability of the space. The small courtyard, by landscape designer Nathan Burkett (you may have caught a glimpse of it here), connects seamlessly with indoor spaces. Strong modern lines, practicality and beauty.

Milan-based web designer Franco Scarpino has a bolt hole in San Leonardo di Cutro, Calabria on the Ionian Sea. Here in his 40 sq m attic apartment he can throw open the windows and gaze out to see. But Franco seems to spend most of his time looking inside his flat.On the wall there are works of 15 different Italian artists. You see Franco is part of a home based gallery movement Art in Flat which brings artists and home owners together to exhibit art in one of its most natural habitats, the walls of a house. You could say this post is half reader’s home half home exhibition. I think I need to get involved in something like this here in Australia. A very cool idea.

Yes that’s right. The jewellery is beautiful but so is the store. I’d move in if I could. Oh. Thought. Does that mean that I could drape myself in all the pieces after hours? Win win situation. Lulu Frost Studio and Store by Katie Martinez Design.
